It doesn’t matter regarding what I said. It’s about dissing your competitors. Sure that doesn’t make it a lie but it’s better if people know where you stand; As an independent reviewer vs shareholder of a competitor brand. It also affects h

I always liked the LTT videos and was a subscriber. I don't think there's anything wrong with reviewing products and having a certain opinion, however Linus has a stake in a company which makes laptops whose main selling point is

No matter how you try to warp the logic or the reality of the situation and regardless of the country or culture, the responsibility of dealing with the effects of climate change (or anything else) should be proportional to the contribution

The irony! Aren’t the industrial countries the biggest contributors to climate change?

There are privacy preserving tracking applications (i.e. Corona-Warn in Germany, etc.) that can tell you if you had a longer significant exposure. Maybe that’s helpful. The caveat is that not everyone uses the app but I think it might still

That 32 GB is not a typical stick. It’s a unified memory on SoC like how it is in smartphones. It affects performance significantly. You can read more about how they work and how they are different here: https://www.howtogeek.com

We have used it to run different CPU bound tasks on worker machines (to not run them on the app server). For example imagine you want to receive a file from the user and extract data from it. Using such system also allowed us to horizontall

Interesting you say that since US has played a big role in crushing democracies here and there and also in the Middle East which of course fueled the anti US rhetoric in those countries. For example, look at 1953 coup [1] in Iran backed by

In Persian, old times, snake was a symbol of health! Even today “sick” in Persian translates to “Snake-less”! I was also believed that snakes eat the animals that can carry dangerous sicknesses (small mammals) and their existence is a sign

Being paid less doesn’t necessarily mean your job is less “valuable”! I wish this was the case and everyone would get paid based value of their work but, sadly, this isn’t the reality of the world we live in.

In most dictatorships, many journalists are usually horribly mistreated. They get jailed, “commit” suicide, or vanish i.e. NK, Iran, Belarus, etc. Unfortunately those governments’ tone and narrative is similar to what you’re saying here (ba

More and more people are beginning to care because of data privacy. There’s even a group of people who cared from the beginning. The rise of “privacy friendly” or “we don’t share your data” marketing messages IMO is a sign of growing desire

That’s not how it works. When an iMessage cannot be delivered for any reason (phone changes to Android, no internet, etc.) the message will be sent as SMS within minutes. It works per message and this behavior can be toggled in settings. I

The tricky part of this argument is the use of the word "accurate". Since you are talking about a statistical model, it's worth keeping in mind that this word has a mathematical definition in that context. The output of the s

As a macOS user, I highly appreciate it if Apple doesn’t provide an easy way for the app developers to disable that small dot either in normal or presentation mode. Of course this is my personal preference but in my opinion it should make

It’s still possible to explicitly mention the gender. For example say “that woman” or “the man”. The reader also might get some clues from the context, for example, saying “my dad said…” will reveal some clues about the gender of the subje

In Persian (an Indo-European language), not only is there no grammatical gender, but also there are no gender pronouns [1]. You can write text that is technically gender-neutral. [1] http://sites.la.utexas.edu/persian_online

I think people don’t immigrate because of slightly better conditions. There’s a lot of hardship with being a refugee which won’t even end with getting a new citizenship. People sometimes do it to run away from i.e. Taliban, or bombs or som
